Charlie Sheringham looking for new club

Striker Charlie Sheringham has not been offered a new contract at AFC Wimbledon ahead of the new season and will leave the club.

The 26 year old suffered a nasty ankle injury soon after joining the Don's in June 2013, and has struggled to break into the side since returning to action.

Speaking to the clubs website, Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley said: "From Charlie’s point of view he feels he probably never got a good run in the team and rightly so. It was stop-start for him after he suffered a bad injury. From my point of view we had a bit of a striker crisis throughout the season and we were not scoring enough goals."

Sheringham spent time on loan at Salisbury City during the second half of the 2013-14 season and will now be looking for a new club.

His last contribution on loan at the Whites saw Sheringham score in a 2-2 draw with Chester on the final day of the Conference Premier campaign which condemned the Blues to relegation on goal difference.

Ardley wished the striker well after spending less than 12 months at Kingsmeadow: “Charlie is a good player and I think he will do well wherever he goes. I hope he gets a good deal somewhere else.”

AFC Wimbledon make first summer signing

AFC Wimbledon have made their first signing of the summer, completing a deal for Oxford United's Sean Rigg on a free transfer.

The 25 year old made 32 appearances and scored 2 goals for the U's during the 2013-14 campaign.

Don's boss Neal Ardley told the clubs official website: "I have always liked him when Sean's played against us and been impressed when I've watched him in games."

Rigg has made over 200 Football League appearances during spells with Bristol Rovers, Port Vale and Oxford.

His new manager was quick to make arrangements to bring the midfielder to Kingsmeadow when alerted to his availability, "Sean is quick and direct and can score goals, which is obviously an area we are trying to improve upon."

Starting his career at Bristol Rovers, Rigg helped the club win promotion to League 1 through the play-offs in 2007.

He has spent the entirety of his career in the Football League, apart from a loan spell at Forest Green in 2009 where he scored six goals in 14 games.

Eastleigh sign former AFC Wimbledon striker Jack Midson

Eastleigh have confirmed the signing of ex-AFC Wimbledon striker Jack Midson on a two year deal.

The 30 year old netted 42 goals in 140 appearances for the Don's but was among eight players released by the Don's earlier this month, bringing an end to a 3 year association between club and player.

His new boss Richard Hill admitted to not wasting any time in contacting the player once he learned of Midson's release from AFC Wimbledon:

"I have been speaking to Jack for a few weeks now, desperately trying to get this deal over the line. Jack is an extremely ambitious lad and, to come and play in the Conference, he needed to be convinced that we’re not going into this league just to tread water"

In his first season at Kingsmeadow, Midson scored 18 goals to finish tied top of the League Two scoring charts in 2011-12.

Continued his potency in front of goal the following season as the clubs top scorer in the league with 13 goals.

Hill stated that the acquisition of a player like Midson is a positive move for the clubs future:

"Jack has committed to us for the next two years and, once more, that speaks volumes for this club’s long-term aspirations.  We are all looking forward to welcoming a player of Jack’s pedigree and goal-scoring ability into what we consider is already a high-quality squad."

Midsun is Eastleigh's second signing this week after signing James Constable also on a two year contract.
